Metamucil Contains Ingredients That Aren’t Good For You – I’ve Got A Healthy Alternative
I recently discovered that Metamucil – a popular colon cleanse had aspartame and yellow food coloring as ingredients. Several years ago when I had my first colonoscopy the doc told me, “drink a glass of Metamucil every day and you should never have any problems”.

How To Make Herb Infused Honey
Herb infused honey is a pairing of goodness on two levels.. The medicinal value found in herbs as well as the healing benefits of honey. I love honey straight out of the jar but infused honeys certainly have their place in my kitchen. Imagine fresh pear slices drizzled with rosemary infused honey. How about lavender honey spooned […]
Quick and Easy Spiced Banana Muffins
I made Spiced Banana Muffins after my man Dan made this comment. With a hopeful look on his face he said, “I left those bananas on the counter hoping you’d make something with them.” I’d call that straightforward and unsparing in getting his point across.

This past weekend I got my act together and managed to roast a chicken early in the morning, photograph it, refrigerate it and then serve steak for dinner. My mission was to be able to share this recipe with you but I wanted a photograph. Here are the reasons I worked it out this way. […]
Honey-Ginger-Basil Vinaigrette
I had plans to make a healthy sauce using carrots and oranges, for some beautiful salmon filets I bought at the Fresh market on Saturday. Fresh Market has become, possibly, my favorite place to shop in Greensboro but I can only allow myself a trip there about every two weeks. It’s small and full of gourmet […]
